The ePAPR para-virtualization needs to happen very early
otherwise the bytechannel based console will silently
drop some of the early boot messages.
Before this patch, this is how the kernel log started:
-----------------------------------------------------
> Brought up 2 CPUs
> devtmpfs: initialized
> NET: Registered protocol family 16
[...]
-----------------------------------------------------
After the patch the early messages show up:
-----------------------------------------------------
> Using P5020 DS machine description
> MMU: Supported page sizes
> 4 KB as direct
> 4096 KB as direct
[...]
-----------------------------------------------------
At console init, the kernel tried to flush the log buffer.
Since the paravirt was not yet initialized the console write
function failed silently, thus losing the buffered messages.
